Hi,

Postoperative pain and fever are suggestive of surgical site infection. So in my opinion, you should definitely consult your surgeon and get done a clinical examination and CT scan of the abdomen.

If CT is suggestive of collection then you may need surgical re-exploration. You can also take a painkiller and anti-inflammatory drugs. Antibiotics are also advisable. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
